When the fungal metabolite cytochalasin B was added to McCoy cells, multinucleated giant cells developed. Monolayers of these cells proved as efficient as irradiated cells for the growth of three different serotypes of Chlamydia trachomatis and for the primary isolation of chlamydiae from clinical specimens obtained from patients attending a venereal disease clinic. Cytochalasin treatment of McCoy cells provides a convenient alternative to irradiation and should be of value in the isolation of chlamydiae from the eye and genital tract.
当将真菌代谢产物细胞松弛素B添加到 McCoy 细胞中时,多核巨细胞形成。这些细胞单层在支持三种不同血清型沙眼衣原体生长以及从性病门诊患者的临床标本中进行衣原体的初次分离方面,证明与经辐射处理的细胞一样有效。用细胞松弛素处理 McCoy 细胞为辐射处理提供了一种便捷的替代方法,在从眼和生殖道分离衣原体方面应具有价值。
